Dear European Border and Coast Guard Agency,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

The number of families separated for the purpose of return during 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023.

Please also identify the member state the separated family was returned from and the state(s) they were returned to.

Reason for separation, e.g. part of family returned while rest remains in member state; members of same family returned to different countries

Yours faithfully,

Nicole Ostrand

Dear Nicole,

 

With regard to your request for information under PAD-2024-00274
application, we would like to inform you that it is the Member States who
are responsible for issuing return decisions.

Frontex is responsible for the coordination and financing of return
operations, but the decision about who should be returned is always taken
by the judicial or administrative authorities of the EU countries.

 

We recommend you reach out to the relevant national authorities for more
information.

 

Kind regards,

 

Jan ZIETARA

Frontex Press Office
